The Skyscraper and New York City
Since the early 20th century, New York City has played a major role in pioneering skyscraper design-a uniquely American invention. Originally a building type that expressed personal egos and corporate identities, it became a metaphor for modernity throughout the world. Always a competitive artform, today it is a symbol of national pride in many cultures.
Temple University Architecture Professor John James Pron will present on the history and evolution of the New York skyscraper, from its American invention and modernity, to its significance in today's global society, to what its future might hold.
$25 per person includes discussion and reception with hors d'oeuvres, beer, wine, and soft drinks
$20 per person for Temple graduates of 2003-2012
A new series for Temple alumni, parents and friends in cities across the country, the Temple Idea offers the kind of stimulating and enlightening discussion that is the hallmark of the Temple University experience. Temple is known the world over for expanding boundaries in art, science and hundreds of other fields and to bringing these new ideas to people around the world. We invite you to explore, learn and take part in the ongoing conversation.
